Greetings from the Graveyard

Seymour Hope lives with his parents Ignatius B. Grumply (I. B. Grumply) and Olive C. Spence (I love suspense), a ghost.  The three decide to make greeting cards and form the company, Greetings from the Graveyard.  This new venture is threatened by Grumply’s old girl friend Nadia Richenov (rich enough), who is threatening to publish Grumply’s 20 year old love letters.  At the same time, two escaped convicts, Liza Lott (lies a lot) and husband Rob Z. Lott (robs a lot) come and town to start a security business.  The story is told with letters, illustrations, newspaper clippings, advertisements, and transcripts.  The whole book is rife with puns: Judge Claire Voyant, butler T. Leeves, book representative Paige Turner, sheriff Mike Ondolences.  This is book 6 in the series.  It is a fun, quick read as well as a challenge to find all of the puns.
